National Drive It Day was created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs in 2005. It celebrates the 65 cars that attempted to drive 1000 miles from London to Edinburgh and back again in 1900 to prove the viability of the motor car.
This epic journey began on 23rd April 1900 and ended on 12th May 1900 when 35 of the original 65 cars that began the journey successfully arrived back in London.
National Drive It Day has become even more than a celebration of this mammoth undertaking. It is now an event where classic and historic vehicle enthusiasts can get together to not only share memories and experiences of their own classic vehicles but also raise money for the NSPCC too.
We are pleased to offer our members a chance to Join Bridge Classic Cars who will be hosting a Drive It Day on Sunday 23rd April 2023.
The drive will begin at their storage facility, The Hangar at Bentwaters air base where they will be meeting at 11 am for a car show. We will then travel in convoy covering a scenic route to their workshop in Pettistree, Woodbridge, Suffolk. There will be live music, food, a bar and a Live Draw.
To join this event you need to purchase either a £10 or £30 ticket from the links below. ALL proceeds go the NSPCC and all attendees will receive a commemorate Drive It Day number plate. please also BOOK below so we can track numbers and let Bridge know how many PCGB members are going.
